Write and Practise Your Script
Whether you write a chapter or record a lecture, clear beats clever. Write the way you would explain it to one person sitting across from you.
Step 1: Start with the point
Open every chapter or lecture by saying what the reader will get from it. Then give it to them.
Step 2: Use plain words and examples
Replace jargon with everyday words. Use local examples, prices and situations your audience recognises.
Step 3: Read it out loud
Awkward sentences show up immediately when spoken. Cut anything you stumble over.
Step 4: Finish with an action
End with one small thing to try. Practice is what makes learning stick.
FAQs
Do I need a word-for-word script?
Not always. Some people write every word, others use bullet points. Try both on a short lecture and keep whichever sounds more natural.
